Premier Legacy Compound- The Abiquiu Valley Farm, north of Santa Fe, is one of New Mexico's most significant properties. With over 220 majestic acres along the banks of the Chama River consisting of a private riverfront bosque, fertile pastureland and natural ponds, this tranquil oasis has stunning views of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains and the Pedernal that drew O'Keeffe to the Southwest. The compound is anchored by a luxurious 6,500-square-foot main house--designed by renowned architect Theodore Waddell--that features a central atrium, elegant living spaces, great room with facing fireplaces, art gallery, floor- to -ceiling paneled library, fabulous chef's kitchen, formal dining room, and inviting bedroom and bath suites featuring imported tiles. The 3500-square-foot 3-bedroom 5-bath guest house features a central courtyard, open plan kitchen, dining and living areas and two separate ensuite casitas surrounded by gardens. The Art Barn is a 5,700-square-foot cathedral-style adobe with large open spaces designed to host special events and includes a kitchen and two apartments. Impressive equestrian facilities include a 10-stall Morton barn with dry paddocks, in-ground waterers, a heated tack room with a bath and laundry facilities, outdoor wash stalls, six irrigated pastures, Kentucky-style fencing, and an outdoor sand dressage arena. As the state's only Demeter-certified Biodynamic organic farm, the property produces medicinal herbs, alfalfa, and other forage crops. The property benefits from solar power generation; geothermal radiant heating and cooling for all the residences; reverse-osmosis water filtration for the homes, the barns, and the paddocks; and water from wells, acequia irrigation rights, ponds, and the river. The bosque is a birdwatcher's paradise, a waterfall-fed pool is perfect for fly-fishing, and abundant elk call the farm home. Located just 57 miles from Santa Fe and Taos Airports and 114 miles from Albuquerque Sunport, International Airport.
